Edoardo Bove has had a defibrillator fitted after the Fiorentina midfielder's on-pitch cardiac arrest earlier this month, according to widespread Italian media reports on Tuesday. Sky Sport and Gazzetta Dello Sport report that the operation was carried out on Tuesday morning at the Careggi hospital in Florence, where he has been since collapsing during Fiorentina's Serie A fixture with Inter Milan on December 1. The match was stopped and then called off while Bove was rushed to the intensive care unit, where serious damage to the 22-year-old's central nervous and cardio-respiratory systems was quickly ruled out.
